I have been following this post and I give it a . I was reading somewhere that somebody did a test way back in 1950-1960 can't remember. For every 100 percent of fuel and air that enters a combustion chamber only 28 percent is used for power the rest is out the tail pipe. They retested again in 1990 and found out that it was raised to 30 - 32, WOW Now that's progress They also mentioned that the finer the mist ( more atomization) you can get your fuel mixture the more complete burn. There have been many attempts at this Singh groves, running your fuel through hollow exhaust seats with variable valve timing. Or just heating your fuel. ( I believe Patton had a Mechanic that tried this on his Tank fleet).
